Peter Laviolette's post game reaction upset fans
After the game, Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette made himself available for his usual interviews, giving his take on his team's effort against the Jets.
"I thought we had looks, I thought we had zone time. They blocked some shots, as well, that didn't get through. We had looks, I think we hit the post 3 times. There was enough there, we just didn't walk away with anything. That goes back to the frustrating part of it, defensively we held them down, held their attempts down, zone time down. Did a pretty good job with regard to that and just not able to get the run support that we need to win."
